　　The traditional teaching and learning process in China is constantly being challenged by educational reformists trying to create something better. One such effort has been happening since the beginning of this term at Cuiyuan Middle School. They have implemented so-called research type learning, an obligatory (义务的) course added by the Ministry of Education.

　　As a pilot of the new course, all 600 Senior One students chose the 152 research topics. The research type learning, which is based on students independent thinking and creation, targets the students overall (全面的) development and forging application ability.

　　The results of the research is not that important, said Ma Yuxuan of the school, adding that it is the participation and the process that really matter. Ma and her other group member finally decided to investigate students ideal professions as their research topic after an hour long discussion. The research topics of class five are closely related with reality. Their investigations cover juveniles weight and health, air pollution and environmental protection, Hakka culture, and drug prevention.

　　One student called Zhang Ked said that the research type learning developed students’ ability, strengthened their competitiveness for the future, and shared the same objective as the annual college entrance examination. An investigation by Beijing Normal University’s research institute on students creativity indicated that Senior Two students in China showed a low creativity. A comparative study showed that Chinese students’ creativity is far below that of their counterparts in Britain. The reason, as Hu Weiping, who is responsible for the investigation, was the great differences in teaching methods between the two countries.
